YoungStar Program About YoungStar The care children receive at home and away from home couldn’t be more important. Studies show that children who experience engaging, one-on-one activities in safe, healthy and nurturing learning environments have a better chance at lifelong success. They’re more likely to graduate from high school, less likely to engage in criminal activity or participate in special education programs. And they often earn higher wages throughout their lifetime.
